The Matters Of Life & Death Scholarship Writing Contest

This is certainly an interesting college scholarship as it focuses on helping students develop an awareness of the issues surrounding aid-in-dying. The scholarship also aims to finically assist college-bound scholars. Obviously the first question that comes to every potential applicants mind when dealing with any scholarship is: how much can I win?

Well, we will get to that information below. Our goal at Writing Scholarships is to make the process of applying for a scholarship as simple as possible. Let’s take a look at what The Matters Of Life & Death Scholarship has to offer.

The Scholarship

Remember, this is a “writing” scholarship so you should expect to write an essay in order to win. We are not entirely sure if the topic you will be writing about stays the same or changes after the scholarship for the annual period has been given out. So, to avoid any confusion we are going to provide you with a link to the scholarship page where you will be able to view the topic you will write about.
Three awards will be given out to the three best essays:

1st Place: $1,000

2nd Place: $500

3rd Place: $250
